The Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) says it has arrested a long-time drug trafficking suspect, Uchechukwu Chima, in a successful intelligence-led operation at Oyarifa, a suburb of Accra. The 56-year-old Nigerian national was apprehended on Tuesday, March 18, following a search of his hideout, which the Commission says uncovered 192kg of cocaine and 0.42kg of heroin. Field tests confirmed the substances as narcotics, with an estimated street value of $2.1 million.
